You're kidding!

~D (Nursing Student)

Nope, not kidding - graduated in May, got liscenced in July (was the first available date after the state actually found all of my damn paperwork that I sent in before I graduated).

I started out as Pre-med though, that's why the chemistry (with a biology minor, no less). I'm really happy where I am though, and I wish you the best of luck

Wow. Congratulations. I can't wait to be finished, but I'm returning after several years away from school so it'll be a while. I don't envy you the chem and bio, but I plan to go back to school at a later date and acquire my doctorate. Looks like there's more Chem in my future after all. Ugh.

Anyway, I'm excited about things for now and as I have A & P II first thing in the a.m. I'm going to at least try lying down for some Zzzz's.

Enjoy your evening.

I plan to eventually go back and get my masters - I want to be a clinical nurse specialist or a nurse practitioner... but after 8 years with no breaks (If I wasn't in summer school, I was working, sometimes both ... now that sucked ass) I am TOTALLY burned out on school. I'm taking off at least 2 years before I go back.

I hope that you get some sleep, and that it's not during A&P LOL

If you feel around the back of your head, there is a small indentation right above the top of the spine. Ask someone to bludgeon you with a bat, and that should do it...giggles. Other than that, no way to turn it off other than serious amounts of drugs. Although, truth be told, that usually can exaserbate the dilemma.

So, we all just suffer instead, doomed to no sleep, dooomed dooommmmed!

Perhaps I will watch the discovery channel. All this talk of science has me in the mood.

 

[SweetDommes]

Ok, well ... I had intended to go to bed early tonight, but Holly is still up, and I'm not really sleepy anyway, so instead, I'm going through all of the threads that I've ignored up until now ... damn, I must be bored LOL

Insomnia hit a home run last night. Right over the fence.

 

[Bandit58]

What about the partners of those with insomnia......we who get woken at odd hours because He is horny and bored and wide awake.....and the naked sub is sleeping right next to Him...... I've been woken by nipple pinches and ass slaps Blowjob training at 4am anyone??

I love it.....luckily I'm able to drop off on the couch during the day if I get too tired

 

[rosco rathbone]

Blowjob training at 4am anyone??

Exactly.

 

[Miss Diva]

Hey Uncle Rosco you and your posse and teddy bears kept me up from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.

I am going to put some garlic or eye of newt to get rid of you (or is hair of bat)????

 

[rosco rathbone]

Kept seeing us in your minds eye did you?


Last night I dropped off for a short while, into an extremely intense, vivid nightmare. I was all by myself in a big room in an old house, trying to read a book before sleeping. A gust of wind kept blowing this white shirt on a hanger on the other side of the room and startling me. After a short time I realized that it was not a shirt and a ghost but rather a malevolent shade. I was transfixed in horror as I watched the empty shirtsleeves blow up and down.

I woke up in a cold sweat and couldn't go back to sleep.

Can't say that I blame you on that one.

Holly has nightmares sometimes - some real doozies (ones so bad she won't even tell me about them). She has a warning sign though - if the lights don't turn on, it's gonna get bad, so she wakes herself up and comes and gets me (if I'm home). Fortunately, that usually keeps them at bay for at least awhile.

It'd be great if there were a productive use for these insomnia hours, but my mind is full of static.

clean behind the fridge...scrub the back of the fireplace...wash the washing machine.

 

[rosco rathbone]

My apt already looks like a Naval Academy dorm room.

I am not on speed here. I am on insomnia.

 

[graceanne]

I had nightmares the whole time I was in the hospital. I don't even remember what they were about, which is rare. I always remember my dreams. I do recall flashes of things like skeltons, but I don't recall what happened in the dream.

 

[rosco rathbone]

wash the washing machine lol you goof

 

[Kajira Callista]

well, you wouldnt want to wash your clothes in a dirty washer...the sound, it gets rid of the static...vacuum, that works too.

Here is one that is worse then the nightmare insomnia thing... you are just about to finally fall asleep and you hear someone call your name...a person you know can NOT be in your room...then you are back to wide awake again.

 

[rosco rathbone]

That kind of shit has been happening more and more. I think the more insomnia you have, the closer you get to the border of madness.

dont worry...just when you think one more night is gonna push you over that line.....you sleep
I stayed awake for 15 days straight once lol at least i think i was awake the whole time...things started getting weird on day 5 and i dont remember much after that.

 

[rosco rathbone]

I'd be ok with it if I didn't have to get up at 5AM and go downtown to the union hall. There is nothing like lying awake for 5 or 6 hours knowing that right as you start to get dozy the alarm is going to go off and it is time to lace up boots and head into the pre-dawn freeze in order to jostle with mexicans on the platform.

you do know that once something *good* happens at the union hall you will be able to sleep.

I used to live in germany.
I was a student.

while i was learning german, i would dream that i had NO language. People would ask me a question, and i could say nothing....no linguistic skills at all.....

i would usually wake up at 2 from this, and stay up all night...
usually studying german....



sigh

Where do you live?

In Fairbanks, the sun comes up around 11:00 and goes down around 3:00.

In the summer, it stays up all night. We dont see stars from may to august.

Talk about insomnia...i once went three weeks with only an hour of sleep a night....i was seeing things....

even in Barrow, where the sun sets in Nov and does not come up again until Feb/march, they have a dusky time, about three hours worth.

the furtherest north i have been is sptizbergen norway....it is totally dark there, 24 hours a day...that was strange
